Our expertise is in manufacturing fully waterproof products through the process of Radio Frequency Welding -- AKA di-electric welding or just RF-welding. We are admittedly not a cut-and-sew operation.
We can create custom enclosures, like bags and cases. Or we can create unique waterproof products for virtually any industry. We can take your product design ideas and quickly tell you if it is something that can be RF welded together. And if your product can be made by means of RF welding, we can be responsible for designing, manufacturing, and using the unique welding dies necessary to make your finished product. Or if you just have an idea of what you want your product to do, we can use our experience to design the RF-welded product for you. One of our strengths is that we clearly understand what you can and can't do with RF-welding.
Our preferred material of choice is a nylon-reinforced polyurethane (aka TPU). We don't typically work with PVC, as its physical characteristics are inferior, but we can weld PVC.
Making one unique product by means of RF welding is not really an option. The manufacturing process is what really creates this limitation. Each new product made by means of RF welding requires a pair of dies for each weld (the point where 2 pieces of material are bonded together). And each set of dies has to be designed, 3D-modeled, and machined out of aluminum.
Typically we would only require a production run be a minimum of 25 units (for one of our typical products). But your largest hurdle will be the pre-production costs. The cost of designing, modeling, and manufacturing the welding dies typically exceeds the cost of the initial production run of products.
The answer to this question can vary greatly, depending on the product. Remember every contact point requires a pair of dies, and all of the dies must be designed, 3d-modeled, and machined. Being able to use any existing dies can keep these costs on the lower end of the price spectrum. But when we are making a new waterproof bag product, we typically plan for pre-production costs to run in the $3,000-5,000 range.
When you have questions about a potential custom project, there is really no great substitution for talking person-to-person.
